Why Early Access?

“I am choosing Early Access because it allows me to involve the community in the development process while the game evolves. Early Access will enable players to give valuable feedback that can shape the gameplay experience, ensuring it meets the expectations of its audience. It’s also a chance to test and refine features, mechanics, and balance before the final release.

As a solo developer, engaging directly with players helps me prioritize improvements, address issues, and deliver a game that truly resonates with its community. Early Access is not just a way to release the game early; it’s a partnership with the players to build something great together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan for the game to remain in Early Access for approximately six months. During this time, I will focus on completing the main campaign, polishing the mechanics, and implementing some of the larger features that are not yet in place. This window will allow me to gather feedback from the community, make necessary adjustments, and ensure the final version delivers a polished and enjoyable experience.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game is planned to expand on the Early Access version by including the complete main campaign, additional features, and a fully polished gameplay experience. I aim to refine the mechanics, balance the combat, and enhance the visuals to deliver a high-quality product.

Players can also expect new content, such as more environments, challenges, and in-depth story elements, which will build upon the foundation established in Early Access. The feedback gathered during this phase will help prioritize improvements and additions to ensure the final game meets the expectations of the community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version currently includes Chapter One of the planned ten chapters. This chapter introduces the core story, characters, and mechanics, providing a solid foundation for players to enjoy and give feedback on. I plan to release a new chapter approximately every two weeks, depending on the amount of feedback I receive and the popularity of the game. This schedule allows for steady content updates while giving me time to incorporate player input and ensure each chapter is polished.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the game during Early Access will reflect the current content and features available. As additional features and gameplay options are added, the price may gradually increase based on the value the game provides. However, I do plan for a price increase when the game officially reaches version 1.0 to reflect the completed and polished experience.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan to actively involve the community in the development process by gathering feedback through forums, social media, and direct interaction with players. As the game progresses, I will regularly update the community on new features, upcoming content, and areas where player input is needed. This will include discussions about gameplay balance, character development, and other core aspects of the game. Additionally, I’m open to suggestions and will make sure that the feedback from the community helps shape the game’s direction. The goal is to build a strong, collaborative relationship with players, ensuring the game evolves in a way that resonates with them.”
